Stop Dataset refresh

Please provide option to stop refreshing dataset after refreshing manually... If there are any performance issues in database this would lock down the table... I even observed that reports doesnt get published until the refresh is done...

This is something useful when it comes to performance management for underlining resources as well.

I find it incredible that I cannot stop scheduled refreshes. Please add this feature.

We cannot let other data set refresh to be started until this manual refresh to be completed. Which runs for 3 hours and no option to disable/stop the data set Manual refresh. This need to implemented ASAP.

If a report refresh is lasting too long, we may want to lower some dataset parameter on the service, to temporarily shorten history for example, and respawn the refresh. Now, I have to wait 6 hours, for the timeout to be triggered, before I can proceed with no refresh. I CANNOT restart capacity right now. This feature is highly expected (it works fine on desktop)

This is a must for future releases. I need to have the option to stop scheduled refresh activities.

For now, kill the query on the SQL server side. But a Cancel button is needed.

Please make a data refresh stop feature, especially for Report/Dashboard owners. I can't update my RLS settings or publish report changes while refreshes are happening. And the many users with access to the report keep hitting refresh over and over and over manually, so I don't get a chance to make updates!

Two really key problems: one is that the Refresh button doesn't have a pop up 'Are you sure you want to start the refresh?' to avoid accidental pressing; two is that refreshes can be of uncertain time (e.g. new pbix upload, changed parameters). I can post this message as I now have 3 hours to wait until the refresh is done. I *think* I must have clicked on the refresh button accidentally....but who knows? Really difficult to manage various refreshes if you can't stop them.
